Sorry to hear about Gerry’s death. We had a lot of good visiting time when our children were young. She was a kind and friendly person. Our friendship started when we were in school at good old Campbell. Since our move to Indiana, we didn’t get to visit many friends in NY just relatives. Still our heart and blessings are with you all.
Deany was a special neighbor always kind with a giving heart. She treated my children as if they were Grandchildren too.She was such a fighter. I was lucky to know this lady and I will always keep her in my heart.
Sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you.
Charlie,Lorie,Michael,Ginny,and families, Please accept our sympathy on the loss of mom and grandma.What we have left is our memories and knowing she is no longer in pain. We pray God’s love will help make this easier for you.
Giny, Jeff, Manda, and Katie….I love you guys so much! Your mom & grandma was definitely a joy to know…I still smile when I think of all of the fun times I had at her house with Giny and the rest of the Ford loving family) growing up. Her sense of humor, quick wit, her ability to “tell it like it is,” as well as her laid back personality made her a unique & AWESOME person. Also, there was absolutely no doubt how much she loved her granddaughters….In fact, I can vividly remember teasing her that I was going to take each of the girls home after they were born and her threatening to fight me for them!!!(lol). She will truly be missed! Loving you..missing you..from Va/NC.

Dear Mom in Heaven,
I sit here and ponder how very much
I’d like to talk with you today
There are so many things
That we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you care for me
And how much I care for you,
And each time that I think of you,
I know you’ll miss me too.
An angel came and took you by the hand, and said
Your place was ready in Heaven, far above….
And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved
You had so much to live for, you had so much to do…
It still seems impossible that God was taking you.
And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew
You’ll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.
And though you’ve walked through Heaven’s gate
We are never far apart
For every time I think of you,
You’re right here, deep with-in my heart.
I love you and miss you Mom………..Lisa
